• Fuel Can Nozzle Size - for diesels 1 Jul 2020 (Forum)
  Now that lockdown is being eased and we can at least plan for holiday trips, I've realised I have an issue with my spare fuel cans. When I tour the remoter parts of Scotland I usually take 2x 10 litre steel cans with extra diesel which gives me longer range between fill-ups - but my new

  In the latest issue of Bike magazine, there's a dyno test of ordinary 95 octane pump fuel versus Shell V-Power and BP Ultimate 102 (just £2.46 per litre!) They used two modern, high-performance bikes, a Suzuki GSXR1000 and the new BMW S1000RR. The results? Neither high-octane brew gave any more

  Comments on the performance of the fuel gauge and computer. Being an impoverished Meldrew I ran the fuel way lower than I ever have before as I had a 5p/litre off voucher to use!

• Performance Fuels Rumours! 11 Aug 2017 (Forum)
  I have just emptied my tank on the car and decided for the first time in my life, I filled her up with the high octane unleaded premium fuel. Only costing me £6 more for a full tank! I was just wondering if all the rumours are true? Better economy? Better performance? Does anyone know the facts

• Blocked diesel supply pipes - Bio Diesel 1 Jun 2014 (Forum)
  Understand that since bio has been added to diesel fuel there has been a problem with the deterioration of the baffles in the fuel tank. To such an extent that the plastic remnants have been found to be blocking the fuel delivery pipes. I heard of one case where the whole system

• Is a leaking fuel tank an MOT failure? 27 Aug 2007 (Forum)
  My wife's J-reg Toyota Starlet is leaking fuel from the seam half way up the tank. If she runs it quite low and puts in no more than £8 of fuel at a time, then the level stays below the seam and there's no leak. If the leak area looks dry, will the MOT tester fail it? Thanks for any advice A new

• How does a fuel tank work? 12 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  Don't want to be totally ignorant here, but how exactly does a fuel tank work - everyone says don't run down the fuel tank to empty or you will pick up all the carp from the bottom of the tank. But surely the pipe from the tank must be at the bottom of the tank? Or is it slightly higher in which
